Explore some of the most innovative and exciting pumped storage hydropower projects happening around the world and what they mean for the future of energy.
The largest PSH plant in the world is the Bath County Pumped Storage Station, constructed in 1985 in the state of Virginia in the United States, with a total installed capacity of 3,003 MW.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PS) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity, providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with more than 400 projects in operation.
• The European Commission has launched an €18 million initiative – Hydropower Extending Power System Flexibility (XFLEX HYDRO) – to run until 2023. The project is being delivered by a consortium of 19 industry partners, and aims to enhance hydropower''s potential in

Pumped storage hydroelectric projects have been providing energy storage capacity and transmission grid ancillary benefits in the United States and Europe since the 1920s.
The National Hydropower Association (NHA) released the 2024 Pumped Storage Report, which details both the promise and the challenges facing the U.S. pumped storage hydropower industry.
The Department of Energy''s "Pumped Storage Hydropower" video explains how pumped storage works. The first known use cases of PSH were found in Italy and Switzerland in the 1890s, and PSH was first used in the United States in 1930.
Built on geospatial data, the map includes a plant''s anticipated storage duration, capacity, total cost, and more. It can help stakeholders across the hydropower industry and energy sectors identify the potential quantity, quality, and cost of resources needed to construct a new PSH plant.
